Corrosion And Metallurgical Behavior Of Alloy C-22 For High-Temperature Applications, Raghunandan A Karamcheti
Corrosion And Metallurgical Behavior Of Alloy C-22 For High-Temperature Applications, Raghunandan A Karamcheti
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Austenitic Alloy C-22 has been tested for evaluation of its tensile and corrosion properties under conditions relevant to the nuclear hydrogen generation process known as the sulfur-iodine cycle. The results of tensile testing indicate that this alloy may be capable of maintaining metallurgical stability and enhanced ductility at temperatures up to 600°C. The stress-corrosion-cracking data suggest that this alloy may not undergo cracking in an acidic solution at 90°C at constant-load, the true failure stress (of) was significantly reduced under a slow-strain-rate condition using both smooth and notched specimens. The magnitude of the critical potentials determined by a polarization technique …
Application Of Computational Fluid Dynamics For High Energy Efficiency Design With Human Comfort Of Cad-Vav And Ufad Systems, Bhanu Rekha Bandhakavi
Application Of Computational Fluid Dynamics For High Energy Efficiency Design With Human Comfort Of Cad-Vav And Ufad Systems, Bhanu Rekha Bandhakavi
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
This thesis deals with the numerical simulation of the ceiling air distribution (CAD) system and the Under Floor Air Distribution (UFAD) system based on the dimensions of BTLab at UNLV. Ceiling Air Distribution (CAD) with variable air volume (VAV) and Under Floor Air Distribution (UFAD) systems have been widely used in different countries. CAD-VAV and UFAD systems designs have been influenced by increasing emphasis on indoor air quality (IAQ), energy conservation, environmental effects, safety, and economics. So, 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis technique was applied to design high energy efficiency and human comfort CAD-VAV and UFAD systems. The goal …
Arima Models For Forecasting Poisson Process Observations: Application To The Volcanoes Worldwide, Heng-Wei Cheng
Arima Models For Forecasting Poisson Process Observations: Application To The Volcanoes Worldwide, Heng-Wei Cheng
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
A nonhomogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) is often appropriate for the modeling of a series of events that occur over time in a nonstationary fashion. A major difficulty with the NHPP is that it has infinitely many forms for the intensity function. In this thesis, we propose a linking bridge between a point process and the classical time series via a sequence of the empirical recurrence rates (ERR), calculated sequentially at equidistant time intervals. The distinctive technique is demonstrated with an ERR-plot, designed to fingerprint the temporal pattern of a point process. Moreover, Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models are presented …
Multidimensional Model Of Destination Brands: An Application Of Customer -Based Brand Equity, Soyoung Boo
Multidimensional Model Of Destination Brands: An Application Of Customer -Based Brand Equity, Soyoung Boo
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Branding's extension into tourism destination management is expanDing However, most studies to date have focused at the conceptual exploration level or expansion of image-level theory. This study examined empirical information on building the destination brand model through a scale purification process, ensuring its reliability and validity. The customer-based brand equity measurement model from the general marketing literature was applied in a destination context. The proposed model was tested with an online survey sample of Las Vegas and Atlantic City visitors because both destinations are in a similar destination brand category. Findings show that although the proposed model showed a good …
